I love a movie based on historical references and this one did that while allowing the mysterious "legends say" about the ending. That was an added bonus for me for a story I did not know but enjoyed quite a bit. I loved the women empowerment theme to this even though it was the mid 1800s and I appreciated the compassion between unlikely people (and obvious ones). All in all, I'd love to watch this movie again. The cast was superb and the story well-written.
